Another layer of bureaucracy. Climate change is a THEORY not fact; maybe after another few hundred years. Mitigation ?? There is no money for that and most property owners at risk, DO NOT have the resources to adequately protect Lake shore property. Looks like a lot of assumptions, very expensive “suggestions”, and another layer of bureaucracy dedicated to PR and PC. One requirement to even start to be meaningful is to have people who live on Lake Ontario involved; a little reality/experience. Governmental/human interference, hubris, and incompetence trumps ALL other factors; including theoretical Climate Change. Mitigation is PROACTIVE (before damages); reality will require COMPENSATION for damages of governmental inaction or action
